Favorite track right now is

Hood Politics

Second is

You Ain't Gotta Lie (is Kendrick talking about himself?)

 

[Rain]

King Kunta is nice...but whoever called that the best on the album is crazy

 

[beenz]

"for sale" interlude got me rollin with that damn voice kendrick doin

kinda like when nas did that song "who killed it" off HHID with that weird humphrey bogart voice.

Damnn...... that's sooooooo making me angryyyyyy

What about this?




where is this?

Imma need this and the Colbert song sometime soon

Maybe it's because I'm a community organizer for social and racial injustice issues that this album doesn't move me, personally. He didn't say anything nor do anything innovative to me but I do think this could be a great stepping stool for the 85'ers out here that don't have a clue towards a higher platform of thinking and whatnot.

There's definitely songs that I like and even the ones I don't I could see other people liking. Nothing is pure garbage when I look at it objectively. I don't think it's a 10/10 album, but I guess I could see why other people love it.

The only thing for me is that his voice and flow don't always match the beat or tone. And there is nothing musically or lyrically as interesting to me as Money Trees or Sing About Me, Dying of Thirst. I liked S80 and GKMC right away, but I'll have to give this a few more spins.

The Pac interview is just icing on the cake..

Kendrick got the juice now..

 

[noble]

can somebody hook me up

 

[SunZoo]

Not liking it on first listen, but I'm a big advocate for Kendrick and love his ABILITY, not really crazy about the project at this point but I'll sit with it for a while.

I think my favorite cut so far is either the first track or King Kunta and I didn't even really think that was GREAT when I first heard it. I like it more now...seemingly because I figured it would be one of the weaker joints on the album and ended up being at the top.

 

[Auger]

never knew so many white people was feelin GKMC 'til today

which is weird because I never thought many of them could relate to it.

 

[JustRob]

Finally done runnin for the day so I'm gonna lay back and give it a listen. I should have given it a spin in the car but I didn't want to have to pause it at each stop. My m50's are going to have to do they have pretty good sound anyway.

This album is going to change HH. Mark my words.

This is HipHop. In its purest form. Closest anyone is going to get to pure HH.

I miss the days when nikkas took time to craft verses. I love this album.
